The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. In this volume we explore the poets and the poetry of the Elizabethan Age. Long revered and admired this verse illuminated both this gilded age and the talents in the centuries that followed.Mostra libro

Amid the storied halls of the Royal Cambridge Scholastic Institute, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith—beloved pedagogue, poet, and relentless seeker of truth—finds himself on the brink of a new academic year. Surrounded by antiquarian volumes and the warm presence of Victoria Emerson-Lloyd, the love of his life, he prepares to illuminate the minds of his students with one of life’s most daunting themes: adversity. From the hush of a predawn study to the bustling energy of a packed university auditorium, Erasmus invites his class on a journey of discovery, introspection, and hope. But adversity is not merely an academic subject—it touches every facet of Erasmus’s own life. Through poignant narrations, tender memories, and stirring poetry, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III unravels a tapestry of trials and triumphs. As Erasmus recounts the struggles that tested his spirit, readers encounter the raw, universal truths of hardship and renewal. In reflective conversations with Victoria—whose gentle presence radiates unconditional love—we witness how true courage emerges in the face of fear and longing. Infused with lyrical verses, deep philosophical insights, and a dash of old-world charm, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III is a testament to the power of narrative and poetry to transform pain into wisdom, fracture into resilience, and separation into reunion. Whether it is the hush of a centuries-old library or the vibrant exchange in a rapt lecture hall, Professor Cromwell-Smith’s enduring lessons remind us that from the moment adversity strikes to the dawn of new beginnings, life continuously offers us the chance to learn, to heal, and ultimately—if we listen with open hearts—to flourish.Mostra libro
Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up. In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in one of the most famous cities in the World: New York. Within its five boroughs are a small universe of wonder and magic, a kaleidoscope of almost everything the planet has to offer. In past times New York was a gateway to a new land and a new future whatever the misery and tragedy of your former life. Of course, this golden vision was not attained by everyone. But our local poets, including such luminaries as Emma Lazarus, Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, Alice Duer Miller, and Alan Seeger bring vision and truth to this unrivalled city and its hallowed status in the world of verse. 1 - Born in the USA.
